The Libertarian Party of New Mexico recently adopted the Liberal Party USA presidential ticket of former Nebraska legislator Dr. Laura Ebke and former Clarksville, Tennessee, City Councilmember Trisha Butler. The party has submitted paperwork to the New Mexico Secretary of State’s office to place the ticket on its state ballot line.
Butler, who is also the Liberal Party USA’s interim chair, confirmed to Independent Political Report on Tuesday that the Libertarian Party of New Mexico filed the necessary paperwork to place the duo on its state ballot line. However, as of this article, the paperwork has not yet been confirmed by the Secretary of State’s office.
According to Butler, the Liberal Party USA nominated the two because of their leadership within the party and their previous experience as elected officials. The ticket was then adopted by the Libertarian Party of New Mexico at a later nominating convention. “Dr. Ebke and I accepted the [Liberal Party USA] nomination to be of service to our burgeoning party as well as offer a liberal option to our members and affiliates. The Libertarian Party of New Mexico is a founding affiliate of the Liberal Party, they also held a nominating convention to adopt the LPUSA ticket,” she explained.
Butler said the party anticipates official confirmation from the New Mexico Secretary of State’s office sometime this week or next.
The Libertarian Party of New Mexico is the official state affiliate of the Liberal Party USA and one of its three initial founding state affiliates. Meanwhile, the Free New Mexico Party, now the recognized affiliate of the Libertarian National Committee, has submitted paperwork to place the Libertarian Party ticket of Chase Oliver and Mike ter Maat on the ballot.

Confused?
Misfits all.
They’re going to be spending all their time trying to explain what “classical liberalism” really means. They’ve placed an optics battle upon their own shoulders.
